Year 7-9 Sector
Year 7
This term, students have challenged themselves academically and shown efforts to be more inclusive and build positive relationships with one another. All students have been working extremely hard on their assignments and preparing for upcoming tests in preparation for the term’s conclusion. Well done to all students for trying their best and showing resilience during remote learning.
Please note: Next term, Art and French subjects will be replaced by Food Technology and Music as they are semester-based subjects. Special thanks to Mr. Fenech, Ms. Vercoe and Ms. Nguyen for their work during Semester 1.
We welcome to our Year 7 teaching team, Mrs. Lele, Mr. Apted and Mr. Ebert for Semester 2.
Cohort Games
Cohort Games are a great way for students and teachers to band together and represent their class in a competitive and fun way. This term students have been playing the game, Chicken Run. Thus far, 7C are in the lead to win the trophy! We have had to put the competition on hold due to the Covid-19 restrictions, however will reconvene again next term to play out the remainder of the tournament.
Value Jars
Our College Values drive the work that we do at Brookside College. Year 7 students have been working hard throughout the course of the term and have been recognised for the demonstration of our 4 College Values. Students have been acknowledged and praised for showing respect, resilience, relationships and rights. For this, students have been rewarded with coloured sand. Accumulated, the class with the most sand by the end of the term will receive prize! The winning class will
be announced on Thursday in the last week of Term 2.
HOL
Our Year 7 Hands on Learning students have been developing new and transferrable skills in Trade and Café. Well done on having a growth mindset and taking on new challenges!
Lake Dewar Lodge
On 24th-26th of May, our Year 7 students went to camp in Bacchus Marsh. Students had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed the yummy food! Students engaged in a variety of adventure activities and challenges, such as, canoeing, flying fox, geocaching, kick biking, survivor challenge, mountain biking and adventure tunnelling! Students increased their self-confidence, worked in teams and built on their independence. Some of the activities were physically demanding, whilst others ensured a mental test. Well done to all students on showing resilience and taking on new and exciting challenges!
